In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 184 The Three-Way Individual Elimination Tournament Begins: Wind vs. Fire and Earth

According to the competition schedule, each of the three colleges will send its first player to the field.

After they took the stage, the three of them drew lots to determine which two academies would play the first match, and the winners would continue to fight, and so on.

Unlike the original timeline and Kamikaze Academy, the Beast Team did not choose to forfeit.

The Spirit Hall did indeed contact Lin Hai's teacher, Meng Shu. The Spirit Academy team wanted to reach an agreement with the Beast Academy team to jointly suppress Shrek Academy.

However, Meng Shu did not agree. Even when invited to participate in the opening of today's match, both Meng Shu and Dugu Bo declined. The reason given was that their strength was relatively weak. Although the reason was casual, it was still a valid one, and Bibi Dong could not force them.

The competition consists of seven rounds of individual elimination matches. The winning team in each round receives one point, and the advanced soul master academy with the highest score advances to the final stage.

In the first round, Shrek Academy sent Jing Ling, an agility-type Soul Master, who was still a Soul Venerable; Martial Soul Academy sent a Soul Grandmaster; and as for the Beast Academy, Lin Hai sent Mu Jiabao.

That's right, Lin Hai wanted to adopt the strategy of "Tian Ji's horse racing".

In the individual elimination rounds, the Beast Team was generally at a disadvantage. Their strongest fighters were Lin Hai, Feng Xiaotian, and Mu Jiabao, with Longmanjia being only half-powerful. Yara Huchi, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran were no match for the Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Academy.

Lin Hai was confident in his own strength and in his ability to defeat Feng Xiaotian. The Spirit Hall's Soul Kings were not a problem. Although Mu Jiabao also had the strength of a Soul King, he could not guarantee that he could win. Lin Hai also considered that there were several other strong contenders in Shrek Academy. The final score would not be dominated by any one team. Therefore, Lin Hai arranged for him to take the first point.

The draw for the order of the three players in the first round has been completed. Jingling got a bye, which is good news for Shrek Academy, but not so good for Wuhun Academy and Alien Beast Academy.

Mu Jiabao and the Soul Master of the Spirit Hall began their first round of individual elimination matches. Mu Jiabao's combat power at the Soul Master level was formidable, with his own soul power already at level 45. Coupled with the Flame Golden Terror Claw, his attack power was sufficient.

As expected, Mu Jiabao defeated both Wuhun Academy and Shrek Academy, taking the first point.

In the second round, Meng Yiran took to the court. Unfortunately, she lost her first match against the Spirit Hall's Soul Master. Ultimately, Tyrone managed to snatch the win, and Shrek Academy earned a point.

The third round of individual elimination matches began, and Dugu Yan took the stage. In terms of overall strength, Dugu Yan was quite good, but he was a control-type Soul Master, so his combat power was not very strong. Fortunately, Dugu Yan was the one who received a bye in the second round.

Shrek Academy sent out Ma Hongjun. Ma Hongjun was quite strong and tried his best to defeat the Spirit Master of the Spirit Hall, but unfortunately his own spirit power was too low, so he wore himself out first.

The Soul Sect, having expended considerable energy, also suffered a miserable defeat against Dugu Yan's poison, earning two points from the Beast Academy.

In the fourth round, the Beast Team was at a disadvantage. Longmanga and Shrek's Xiao Wu were locked in a fierce battle, but Longmanga, being a defensive Soul Master, was at a disadvantage against the agility-based Xiao Wu.

This match dragged on for quite a while, but Longmanga was more exhausted than Xiaowu, and in the end Longmanga lost. Xiaowu was also not in good condition, and the Spirit Hall got a free point.

In the fifth round, Hu Liena, representing the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, took to the field, while Shrek Academy sent Zhu Zhuqing, and the Beast Team sent Yara Huchi.

The Spirit Hall was quite lucky, getting a bye again. However, one can't help but suspect whether there was any behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Yala Huchi was no match for Zhu Zhuqing, who had consumed the immortal herb.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was no match for Hu Liena of the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall scored two points.

Having reached this point, Yu Xiaogang assessed the situation, cut his losses in time, and loudly announced that he would forfeit the remaining two matches.

Yu Xiaogang realized that it would be difficult for them to win in the individual elimination rounds. The only way to enter the finals was to qualify through the group stage in the afternoon. To defeat one of the two academies, they needed to conserve their energy and ensure that their strongest members, Dai Mubai and Tang San, were at their peak.

Next comes the most exciting battle.

The sixth round was a match between Feng Xiaotian and Yan.

"Hehehe, how interesting!" Yan looked at Feng Xiaotian with disdain.

"The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, I think they're nothing special!" Feng Xiaotian spread his hands, his tone flippant, clearly showing his disdain for Yan.

Or rather, it was a sign of contempt for Xie Yue, himself, and Hu Liena—this was Yan's understanding of Feng Xiaotian's words.

From this perspective, Yan is also a fanatic. He doesn't allow anyone to get close to Hu Liena because he likes her; he also doesn't allow anyone to humiliate Hu Liena because she is his goddess.

Moreover, Feng Xiaotian's words also showed contempt for the Spirit Hall, which was unacceptable to Yan, who regarded the Spirit Hall as his home.

"You're asking for death!" Yan's eyes turned gloomy.

"I'll return those words to you verbatim."

"You should know that even among Soul Kings, there are differences." Feng Xiaotian's tone was full of confidence.

Even if the opponent has the Purple Gold Badge of the Great Soul Arena, so what? Over the years, he has endured just as much hardship.

"You can activate your Martial Soul now!" the referee announced.

"Swift Wind Twin Holy Wolves, Possess!" The arena was filled with wind, and Feng Xiaotian exuded a holy aura. The wind generated by Feng Xiaotian's martial soul possession lifted him up, and his body slightly off the ground.

"Flame Lord, possess me!" Blazing dark red flames suddenly erupted from Yan's body, making him appear quite majestic.

"start!"

At the referee's signal, the battle began.

"Haa!" Yan shouted, stomping his foot hard, and flames spread to the ground. The next moment, the flames spread through the ground to where Feng Xiaotian was.

Whoosh! A pillar of flame erupted.

Feng Xiaotian dodged in time.

It was at this moment that Yan seized the opportunity to charge.

Having honed himself in the Lost Forest for so long, enduring trials of life and death, Yan was certainly no waste. In fact, if it weren't for the protagonist's halo, he would be even more outstanding than Tang San.

"Third Soul Skill, Hellfire!" Boundless flames surged towards Feng Xiaotian.

"Such keen combat intuition," Feng Xiaotian thought to himself.

"If it were someone else, they might actually be entangled with him, but I'm not one of them."

"Third Soul Skill, Gale Wings!" Two azure wings appeared behind Feng Xiaotian. In an instant, the azure wings flapped, and Feng Xiaotian flew off the ground, causing Yan's soul skill attack to miss.

……

"Yan is in trouble this time!" Xie Yue said calmly from the Martial Soul Academy side.

"Yan is indeed unparalleled in attack, but Yan does not have the ability to fly. When it encounters a flying-type Soul Master, the effectiveness of Yan's attacks will be greatly reduced."

"Moreover, this Feng Xiaotian is no simple character. According to the available information, he is born with full soul power, and his cultivation level is the same as ours, that of a Soul King. His soul power level may even be higher than mine and Yan's."

"It is said that he also has a self-created soul skill, the 42 Consecutive Gale Slashes, which, when fully unleashed, can threaten a Soul Emperor."

In fact, Feng Xiaotian had already developed a forty-eight-hit combo.

"Yan is indeed in a difficult situation. Feng Xiaotian has the advantage in the air, and Yan's attacks cannot reach him. However, Feng Xiaotian can launch attacks against Yan with agility!" Hu Liena's face also showed a hint of seriousness.

"However, Yan's Martial Soul, Flame Lord, isn't just about fire attributes!"

"I hope Yan understands this. His Flame Lord defense is just as good," Hu Liena sighed.

"It's okay, little sister, I'm here!"

"Um!"

……

"Damn it, you coward! If you've got the guts, come down here! If you're a man, come down and fight me one-on-one!" Yan was furious. With Feng Xiaotian flying into the air, he was like a tiger with its teeth pulled, no longer a threat to Feng Xiaotian.

"Yan, you're a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, can't you see the situation?"

"This is a decisive competition, not child's play. As long as you can defeat your opponent, any method will do. Only the victor will have the last laugh."

"Damn it!" Yan gritted his teeth, feeling extremely unwilling.

"Next, it's my turn." Feng Xiaotian had been circling around Yan, not to obscure Yan's vision, but to create a wind field.

The wind's domain can weaken Yan's flames on one hand, and strengthen Feng Xiaotian's power on the other. While the wind may borrow the fire's power, it's important to consider whether the wind and fire are allies or adversaries.

Feng Xiaotian began to cruise in the air, launching some soul power wind blades.

However, these wind blades posed no threat to Yan at all.

At this moment, Yan also understood that since he couldn't defeat Feng Xiaotian, he would wear Feng Xiaotian down.

Feng Xiaotian consumes far more soul power while flying in the air than Yan. As long as Yan conserves his soul power for defense, he can also win this individual match.

It must be said that Yan truly deserves to be one of the golden generation members of the Spirit Hall. After discovering his disadvantage, he quickly came up with other solutions and was able to rationally analyze the battle situation.

And so, Yan remained in place, but kept a close eye on Feng Xiaotian, in order to prepare in advance in case Feng Xiaotian unleashed his ultimate move.

……

"What a brilliant Yan!" Lin Hai exclaimed in admiration.

"What's wrong? Didn't he say he couldn't hit Brother Feng?" Mu Jiabao asked, puzzled.

"In your view, Yan's martial soul is the Flame Lord, so you simply assume that Yan is a fire-attribute soul master."

"Actually, that's not the case. Yan's martial soul, Flame Lord, is a dual-attribute martial soul of fire and earth. In other words, Yan not only has the powerful attack and explosive force of fire, but also the heavy defense of earth."

"What are your thoughts on Jia Bao's third soul skill?"

"His third soul skill..." Everyone remembered the meteorite that fell from the sky.

"Very powerful, full of destructive force."

"Yan can also use that kind of move, and his move is stronger than Jiabao's; he can use lava attacks."

"In this state, Yan not only has strong attack power, but also considerable defense."

"He's probably planning to wage a war of attrition against Feng Xiaotian now."

"I really didn't expect that Yan, who looks so arrogant and domineering and gives the impression of being a complete fool to outsiders, actually has a very sharp mind!" Dugu Yan said with slight surprise.

"Quick-witted," Avanir thought of the word.

Dugu Yan: "As expected, none of those who can be called the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall are simple."

……

The basic attack had no effect, which was exactly what Feng Xiaotian expected.

"Start adding the ingredients!"

"First Soul Skill, Wind Blade Formation!" Feng Xiaotian unleashed ten large wind blades from both hands, attacking Yan.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

The large wind blade struck Yan, but it was like a raindrop falling into the ocean, without making a splash. Whether it had any effect is still unknown.

"He's really got some skill." Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but admire Yan's strength. He didn't use any soul skills, but simply withstood his first soul skill in his martial soul possession state, even though his first soul skill wasn't his most powerful attack.

"And what about you! Is that all you've got? Hehehe." Yan was someone who wouldn't back down, and he mocked Feng Xiaotian with a boastful tone.

"In that case, please give me your guidance!" Feng Xiaotian's words were polite, but a cold smile played on his lips.

"The second soul skill..."

The second soul ring beneath Feng Xiaotian flashed.

The second soul skill, Twin Wolves Possession, is a self-amplification skill. The shadow of the two-headed wolves behind him gradually merges with Feng Xiaotian's figure, increasing Feng Xiaotian's attack, defense, and agility by fifty percent.

In this state, Feng Xiaotian flew rapidly around Yan, creating an even stronger wind field.

After about a minute, Feng Xiaotian was quite satisfied with the wind field he had set up.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Wind Cage Imprisonment and Kill!"

Feng Xiaotian waved his right hand at Yan Yi, who was still on the ground.

Feng Xiaotian simply waved his hand, and nothing appeared at first! Everyone was still wondering what Feng Xiaotian's fifth soul skill looked like!

The next moment, the wind rippled, and the boundless wind gathered towards Yan.

Yan sensed something was wrong after Feng Xiaotian used his fifth soul skill, and immediately activated his protective soul skill, "Second Soul Skill, Granite Rock!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan's figure was completely obscured by the blue wind.

"What happened?"

"The wind gathered completely around Yan, surrounding him completely."

"I can't see it at all now. I wonder how Yan is doing inside."

"..."

Within the cage of wind, the boundless wind, compressed to its extreme, intensifies the power of wind.

"Wind's Strangulation!" In this invisible space imprisoned by wind, the wind is isolated from the outside world. Under the control of Feng Xiaotian's soul power, the wind is passively compressed and transformed into wind blades.

Countless wind blades slowly compressed and condensed into shape, opening indiscriminately and continuously falling towards Yan.

Ping pong...

The wind blades struck Yan's lava armor, producing the sound of metal weapons clashing.

"What terrifying soul skills! Even I feel threatened. My defense can't withstand these stacked wind blades. No, no, I absolutely can't just sit here and wait to die." Yan clasped his hands together, trying his best to resist the seemingly endless wind blades. He could still hold on for now, but he didn't know what would happen in a while.

Two chapters will be restored the day after tomorrow.
